Half a million Facebook followers for Pearl of Peace

Last week Equus Vita’s popular golden boy Pearl of Peace hit half a million followers on his Facebook page. This is an outstanding achievement for Equus Vita who originally set the page up to increase the awareness of the rare pearl gene and it’s existence within the UK.

The Facebook page sees Pearl of Peace (known as Oro at home and to his fans) interact with his fans daily with picture, videos and caption contests. Pearl of Peace is popular not only within the UK, but has Facebook friends all over the world!

Equus Vita

Our aim is to breed high quality horses with movement – for both the professional and the discerning amateur rider – and to be a home for horses with the rare pearl gene.

Pearl Gene

The Pearl Gene is a recessive, cream-activated, dilution gene. Recessive means that one copy of the gene in a horse has no expression (it is "invisible"), and two copies (homozygosity) results in full expression (in the case of the Pearl Gene, it dilutes the base colour once).
